DNA synthesis in irradiated mammalian cells.
One of the first responses observed in S phase mammalian cells that have suffered DNA damage is the inhibition of initiation of DNA replicons. In cells exposed to ionizing radiation, a single-strand break appears to be the stimulus for this effect, whereby the initiation of many adjacent replicons (a replicon cluster) is blocked by a single-strand break in any one of them. In cells exposed to u...
متن کاملEffect of mimosine on DNA synthesis in mammalian cells.
We have designed a general protocol to assess the rate of replicon initiation in mammalian cells in the presence of inhibitors of DNA synthesis. It is based on cross-linking DNA in vivo with trioxsalen, which effectively blocks the movement of the replication forks along DNA, while having little effect on initiation of replication. We applied this protocol to study the effect of the plant amino...
متن کاملRadiation-stimulated Dna Synthesis in Cultured Mammalian Cells
A type of DNA synthesis in mammalian cells that is stimulated by ultraviolet light has been studied by means of radioautography and density gradient centrifugation. The characteristics of this synthesis are: (a) it is not semiconservative; (b) it is enhanced by the presence of 5-bromodeoxyuridine in the DNA molecule; (c) the degree of stimulation is dose dependent; (d) there is less variability...
متن کاملTranslesion synthesis in mammalian cells.
DNA damage blocks the progression of the replication fork. In order to circumvent the damaged bases, cells employ specialized low stringency DNA polymerases, which are able to carry out translesion synthesis (TLS) past different types of damage. The five polymerases used in TLS in human cells have different substrate specificities, enabling them to deal with many different types of damaged base...
متن کاملLipid synthesis in mammalian cells
Cancer cells frequently exhibit specific alterations in their metabolic activity. This metabolic reprogramming supports the increased production of metabolic intermediates for the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, and is a prerequisite for the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. The most prominent metabolic alterations in cancer are an increase in glucose uptake and the use of a...
